In addition to the 29 community-based laboratories located in each health center and 3 main laboratories, the City of Taguig, under the leadership of Mayor Lani Cayetano, is now offering 24/7 diagnostic laboratory services for emergency patients.

Located in its Super Health Center in Barangay North Signal, the laboratory is equipped with complete manpower — medical technologists, nurses, doctors, and a laboratory staff — to ensure that it can process various services such as CBC, urinalysis, HBSAg, VDRL, electrolyte panel (sodium, potassium, chloride), Dengue NSI, IgG and IgM, and fecalysis.

This 24/7 laboratory will serve emergency patients seen and evaluated in the 3 Super Health Centers located in Barangay North Signal, Ligid-Tipas, and Central Bicutan. Patients from other health centers in the City can be accommodated only after 5 p.m., provided that it is an emergency case and with a proper referral form from the health center of origin.

All diagnostic laboratories in other health centers will remain open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. to serve residents.
